The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com Wednesday, November 26, 2008 - 7A CARR From Page 1A will host Eastern again next sea- son. Since his retirement in Janu- ary, Carr has largely faded from the spotlight, granting few inter- views with the media. Currently an associate athletic director at the University of Michigan, he can sometimes be found taking walks around Central Campus in his maize and blue tracksuit. Associate Athletic Director Bruce Madej declined to com- ment when asked about Carr's part in the Eastern Michigan coaching search. "You'd have to talk to Lloyd," Madej said in an e-mail message. Carr, who has an unlisted telephone number, could not be reached for comment. Eastern Michigan athletic department spokesman Jim Streeter said he expects Carr to play a significant role in the school's hiring process. "My guess is that he will be involved in helping create the pool of candidates we choose from," said Streeter, adding that only Gragg and Carr know Carr's exact responsibilities. "He's someone, based on who he's coached against, who can tell us who we want to go after and more importantly who we don't want to go after." Streeter, who has worked in Eastern's athletic department for 35 years, said Carr probably couldn't have helped with such a search last year. "I would think it'd be a little more unusual, having a sitting head coach help with something like that," Streeter said. "It's not unusu- al for a coach to call a school and put in a good word for one of his assistants, but to do anything more than that isn't normal." HOSPITAL From Page 1A ments. Health System spokeswoman Kara Gavin told The Michigan Daily earlier this month that the TRASH From Page 1A shouting in a community stan- dards officer's face and poking him in the chest as he was writing a citation for tailgate litter. "Sometimes people are being punished for the previous resi- dents' problems, but that's not something we can control," Dyer said. "It's the ordinance." Keith Williams, a represen- tative from Metro City Proper- ties, said the trash code has been "absolutely a problem" for his company because it holds proper- ty owners responsible for tenants' activities. "It's very hard to get the indi- vidual residents to accept respon- sibilities," he said. "I'm forced to act as a collection agent for the city." Metro City Properties owns twelve properties near Central Campus, and has gone to court three times this year to fight tick- ets that were written during foot- ball games. "The first year we experienced it, they would literally go by a few minutes after the game started, take a picture, write a citation," he said. "We've actually had to Health System attributed the freeze to problems withthe state's economy and the hospital's bud- get, which was $1.5 billion during the last fiscal year. She also said the increase in patient care has led to an increase in treatment of uninsured patients, which is more become proactive and send peo- ple out on overtime to clean up during the game times." LSA senior Katie Wohl said she was sitting with her roommates on their porch at 809 E. Universi- ty Ave. after a home football game when someone started to clean their yard for them. "They said they were doing it because the city was cracking down on violations and they didn't want to get a fine," she said. Wohl echoed the concerns of many students who, tailgating or not, have their yards turned into trash receptacles by half-drunk passersby. "The street is so busy," she said. "People just walk by and throw stuff." Problem areas like Church Street and East University and Oakland Avenues are almostguar- anteed the brunt of community standards protocol: if one messy house is called in or noticed by an officer, that officer is required to patrol the entire block and ticket accordingly. "Most of our notices and tick- ets are complaint-driven," Dyer said. "So if you neighbors are pigs, we're going to be around a lot, too." In September, Community expensive for the hospital. The layoffs will be the Health System's first since 1996, when 200 employees were fired and another 386 employees were transferred to new positions within the Health System or the University. Standards received 202 calls about garbage. In August there were 187. Officers usually issue warn- ings to first-time offenders, so residents who clean within 24 hours can avoid a fine. It's dur- ing football games that things get busier, procedure gets more strin- gent and officers need to skip the warning step. "A lot of the problem is that the stuff ends up in the street, or these parties start spilling in the sidewalk and the street," she said. "Then it becomes a city problem." While on patrol last Thursday, Dyer drove down McKinley Ave- nue to follow up on a warning she had given the Saturday before. Spotting two snow-covered mat- tresses still propped up against a tree, she reached for citation forms. Judging from her four years on the job, Dyer said many students don't clean up after themselves - even if given a warning. "I tell people, if you didn't have time to clean it up, or you needed an extension, you should have called the phone number," she said, pointing to the number for Community Standards at the top of a warning ticket. "I can't help you if you can't help yourself." AUTOS From Page 1A dependence on the faltering auto- makers. "If you dialed back 15 or 20 years then you'd see that the Big Three were clearly the dominant contribu- tors to the University in terms of charitable giving," Porter said. "But that mix has changed pretty fun- damentally in the last decade and a half or so." Trimmed back and reshaped, University stock holdings in the Detroit Three have declined along with the companies' donations in recent years. From 2002 to 2007, the Univer- sity's endowment investment in GM plummeted. In 2002, it held 106,600 shares of GM stock, valued at $53.45 a share. Five years later, University holdings inDetroit'slargestautomak- er dropped to 18,500 shares at $37.80 each in 2007. As of Tuesday's closing bell, shares of the struggling auto- maker were trading at $3.56 each. The University's endowment investment in Chrysler, now the only privately-owned company of the Detroit trio, hit a five-year high in 2007 - both in the number of shares owned and the total value of the investment - with 42,750 shares worth over $3.9 million. In 2003, 22,200 shares of Chrysler worth $769,000 were part of the University's overall endowment investment mix. Between 1998 and 2007, Chrysler TICKETS From Page 1A attend other games not included in the season package, like the Oak- land University game at the Palace of Auburn Hills. He said it is espe- cially important for students to pack Crisler Arena for the team's most crucial games. "I think students need to come to the games, especially the Duke, Ohio State and Michigan State games," Kazan said. "I think people are more excited about basketball now." Despite heightened student inter- est in the team, student season tick- ets remain are no longer available for fans. The Athletic Department's policy is that once the regular sea- son starts - this year on Nov. 11, a was part of DaimlerChrysler, a pub- largest endowment in the nation. licly traded company formed after At the end of fiscal year 2008, the Daimler-Benz, a German firm, endowment was worth $7.6 billion. merged with Chrysler.

Bodnar said that the Athletic Department will not start sell- ing season tickets after the UCLA game, because the season ticket package would include games that have already been played. However, students can attend the season's remaining games for free by show- ing their MCard, with the exception of the Michigan State, Duke and Ohio State games. This policy has disappointed some fans. "I don't have season tickets," LSA freshman Tom Stuckey said. "But after UCLA, I kind of wanted to, because I became excited that after a depressing football season, we have a team that can win." The increased student support for the team came on the heels of a lethargic season ticket selling peri- od for the Athletic Department. Season tickets are at down this year, with only 480 total student sea- sonticketssold-anoticeabledecline from previous years, when numbers reached into the thousands. At the peak of student interest in theteam, afteritsFinalFourappear- ance in 1993, 4,100 fans applied for the 3,100 seasontickets available. But for some students, a big vic- tory for the team does not neces- sarily mean they will shell out for season tickets. "It's not a matter of how much I like to watch basketball. It just doesn't pay off to have season tick- ets when I can only go to a handful of the games," LSA freshman Alan Sedghi said. the michigan daily FALL 2009. 5-8 bdrm. houses. Walk FALL 20 to campus.
